Leica Absolute Arm

All-in-One Portable 3D Measurement Solution

The central element of this product is ease of use, thanks to a productive and versatile articulated arm that provides high-precision measurement results quickly and easily.

A Protected Device

The Absolute Arm is the first portable measuring arm in the world with an IP54 rating, protecting it during use against the ingress of particles and liquids. This, combined with its guaranteed functionality at temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius, makes the Absolute Arm the perfect companion for taking measurements even in the most demanding environmental conditions.

Modularity

The integrated versatility is presented in the form of a unique modular wrist design, which includes a wrist-mounted touch screen that puts control and results in the user's hands.

Choose from configurable grip shapes and sizes, as well as a wide range of accessories, from probe tips and 3D optical scanners to complete measurement systems designed for specialized applications.

Scanners

This modularity of the Absolute Arm continues with the range of arm-mounted scanners, each of which can be quickly and easily mounted by the user in a single measurement session without the need for realignment.

• The flagship Absolute AS1 scanner is the key to high-quality 3D digitizing and scanning, thanks to its unmatched accuracy, measurement speed, and multi-surface auto-exposure functionality based on SHINE technology.
• The innovative RS-SQUARED area scanner also offers a high-productivity alternative based on advanced structured light scanning technology.
• The RS5 laser scanner offers consolidated and reliable general-purpose scanning functionality, based on proven red laser light scanning technology.

Touch Screen All 7-axis Absolute Arm models now feature a wrist-mounted touch screen that allows you to change important measurement settings and instantly view measurement results and critical notifications. The wrist-mounted touch screen is compatible with major metrology software platforms and makes measuring with the Absolute Arm easier than ever.

Hexagon SFx Asset Management

Like Hexagon's CMM and laser tracker systems, Absolute Arm systems are now compatible with the HxGN SFx solution. As users move further away from the base with their Absolute Arm systems, it's natural for them to want to know how the devices are performing in the field, and the SFx | Asset Management solution offers exactly that simple, precise, and highly reliable remote monitoring and analysis functionality, whether at a single site or distributed around the world, multiple measurement devices can be monitored in real-time through this single system to enable better-informed decision-making.

Features and Benefits of the Absolute Arm

Probing and Scanning

The Absolute Arm 7-Axis is a multifunctional measurement tool that offers clear productivity improvements thanks to increased ease of use and versatility.

Absolute Encoders

The renowned absolute encoders placed at each articulated joint of the Absolute Arm make it the only portable measuring arm on the market that eliminates encoder referencing and frustrating system warm-up times, driving productivity while offering high-end accuracy.

Advanced Materials

Built on a foundation of high-tech carbon fiber tubes, the Absolute Arm maintains its strength and thermal stability in any environmental condition, offering reliable accuracy regardless of the environment.

Complete Protection

The world's first portable measuring arm with an IP54 rating and guaranteed functionality at temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius, the Absolute Arm is the perfect companion for taking measurements even in the most demanding environmental conditions.

Configurable Wrist

The ergonomic design wrist of the Absolute Arm 7-Axis incorporates an OLED measurement display, interchangeable grips, interchangeable probe and scanner mounts, and a selection of control buttons, making complete one-handed operational efficiency easier than ever.

Effortless Movement

Low-friction, infinitely rotating grips intuitively located are designed to maximize accuracy by minimizing user fatigue and making every movement light and easy to handle; along with a sophisticated counterweight system, the Absolute Arm is the most agile arm on the market.

Essential Security

Store and lock the Absolute Arm between measurements with the HomeDock and SmartLock functions, ensuring that scanners and probes remain factory-intact and accurate.

User Feedback

Even in the most hostile industrial environments, communicating with the Absolute Arm so that the measurement process remains at full speed and efficiency has never been easier, thanks to our range of visual, acoustic, and haptic feedback functions.

Absolute Portability

Even the largest 7-axis Absolute Arm systems weigh only 10.5 kilograms, making setup and repositioning quick and simple processes, while the functionally designed, shock-resistant carrying case keeps everything secure during transport.

ISO Certification

The probing accuracy of the Absolute Arm 7-Axis is certified according to ISO 10360-12 as standard, and the total system scanning accuracy is certified according to ISO 10360-8 Annex D when supplied with an Absolute Scanner AS1 or RS5 laser scanner.

Asset Management

All Absolute Arms are now compatible with the HxGN SFx | Asset Management solution, allowing users to monitor the arm's status and performance in real-time from anywhere in the world.

Technological Base

Based on years of portable measuring arm technology, the 7-axis Absolute Arm is the latest in a long line of market-leading articulated measuring arms, from the ROMER Arm to the ROMER Absolute Arm and now beyond.
